A god-tier fishing spot, anglers lined up to give me money.

Time flies, and the morning passed by in a cacophony of fishing rods being cast, rods breaking, and shouts of surprise.

That morning, Yang Qi was heartbroken by the two extraordinary individuals, Gu Shang and Ye Xuan.

What is a hundred-pound behemoth that can be smashed in the hands of others is treated like a toy by their special tools and skills.

Several large fish weighing over 100 kilograms were lost, including a grass carp weighing 400 kilograms and another weighing 500 kilograms.

At first, he didn't believe it and tried to do something underhanded.

However, one, two, three times, he watched helplessly as his heavy burly general, weighing over 100 pounds, was hoisted up one by one and transported onto the vehicle.

He's numb.

Yang Qiyang leaned back in his chair and stared at the sky for a long while.

Ultimately, I had to admit that I had underestimated these two people.

Especially Ye Xuan, who always has a joking and carefree attitude, but whose strength is even more terrifying than Gu Shang's.

The fiery, scorching aura surrounding him was powerful, incredibly powerful.

He had a feeling: even if that 2000-pound blue bream were to appear...

Ye Xuan could also fly it ashore, at most taking a few more breaths.

Unless, of course, it's that 8000-pound grass carp that gets on board.

With a 100% win rate, there are no fish to fight.

Yang Qi rubbed his temples, deciding not to confront the issue head-on anymore.

As long as the green hills remain, the fisherman will still have to cheat... no, I mean, continue to entertain.

At lunchtime, most of the 800 anglers went down the mountain to eat farm-style meals.

They euphemistically say: "Only when you're full can you have the energy to fight another eight hundred rounds."

Only a small number of people would rummage through their bags for instant noodles, self-heating rice, or buy instant noodles at the supermarket and squat under the shade of a tree to make do with a meal.

Because of the popularity of the fishing spot, and with lunchtime approaching, the farmhouses in the village suddenly became lively.

Smoke rose from the chimneys of each house, drifted into the sky, and was then dispersed by the bright sun.

The anglers who didn't go to the fishing spot stayed in the village, and their hearts were itching to go fishing after watching the live stream, so they went to the river to satisfy their cravings.

Now, I hear firsthand the fisherman who came down from the mountain for a meal, describing with great enthusiasm how huge objects weighing hundreds of kilograms were flying all over the sky.

One by one, they slapped their thighs in regret, complaining about why they hadn't gotten up earlier.

If I had come earlier, I might have been one of the 800 spots available.

In the reservoir, in the small house.

Yang Qi and Chen Zilu were sitting face to face eating lunch.

Here, Yang Xiaojin had ordered four dishes and a soup to be served in advance, which were placed on the folding table. There were two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, and the rice was steaming hot.

Chen Zilu held the bowl, her eyes sparkling: "Yang Qi, we won the first battle! Do you know how much I earned just from tips this morning?"

"How many?"

Yang Qi picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks. Not wanting to spoil her mood, he asked along with her.

"52,000! A full 52,000!"

Chen Zilu slammed the bowl on the table, becoming even more excited, "This is just pure donations; likes, platform revenue sharing, etc., haven't even been calculated yet, and my follower count..."

He swiped his phone screen open and held it up to Yang Qi, exclaiming, "Over two million!"

"Zilu is amazing, she's become a top streamer with millions of followers." Yang Qi smiled sincerely, then joked, "Does a top streamer with millions of followers even compare to a country bumpkin like me?"

"loquacious."

Chen Zilu rolled her eyes, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Yang Qi's bowl, "Eat up, it's your food."

"Hahaha..." Yang Qi lowered his head and shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice, then suddenly leaned close to her mischievously, lowering his voice to a whisper in her ear, "Wife..."

Chen Zilu's face flushed red instantly, and she stammered, "I...I...eat!"

Seeing Chen Zilu's embarrassed expression, Yang Qi was secretly delighted.

This was the only countermeasure he had inadvertently discovered after being teased by Chen Zilu for a month.

As long as Yang Qi gets close and whispers "wife" in her ear, Chen Zilu will blush. This method has worked for Yang Qi time and time again.

"I'm just kidding." Yang Qi sat back down and asked, "Is it still airing this afternoon?"

Chen Zilu locked her phone and took two deep breaths to cool down her face.

"No, I'm editing footage and making videos this afternoon. I need to release them while the hype is still going strong, and make a series."

"support."

Yang Qi nodded, looking out the window toward the reservoir.

Those two "geniuses" should be eating by now, right? Please, don't go on such a rampage this afternoon, or else...

On the shore, under the shade of a tree, Ye Xuan and Gu Shang sat on folding stools, with two boxed lunches in front of them.

Ye Xuan had already eaten half of his portion, while Gu Shang had just opened his.

One chattered on and on, while the other ate in silence, barely making a sound.

"Old Gu, we caught six big fish for the boss this morning. He won't cheat us and force us to take them back, will he?"

Gu Shang shook his head: "He won't."

Why?

"Because he's not stupid."

Gu Shang swallowed a mouthful of rice, looked up at the water,

"Those who run fishing ponds aren't afraid of people taking their fish; they're afraid of no one coming to fish. Business relies on reputation, so would they dare to do that? That's why they wouldn't."

Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"Hahaha... Yeah, but seriously, that was awesome! That 500-pound grass carp, wow..."

He swung his arm, "Too bad it wasn't that end, otherwise I would have definitely given it a go."

"Xuanzi."

Gu Shang put down his chopsticks and said seriously,

"Don't you find it strange? Under normal circumstances, can a reservoir of 100 acres raise so many fish weighing over 100 kilograms?"

This morning alone, at least dozens of fish weighing over 100 jin (50 kg) were harvested; this density—has already exceeded the level of intensive fish farming ponds.

"Hmm, now that you mention it, I really didn't know."

Gu Shang: "..."

Realizing he had misspoke, Ye Xuan quickly corrected himself, "Old Gu, whether it's strange or not, why do we need to know?"

In a place where dragon-shaped koi carp can be born, a fish weighing only a hundred pounds seems reasonable.

"..."

Gu Shang withdrew his gaze and looked at the shimmering water.

Dragon-shaped koi carp are only mentioned briefly in ancient books. What exactly does this reservoir hold that can nurture something that only exists in legends?

Finally, he sighed, as if talking to himself, "...Yes, yes, there's no need to know. How much of the world's mysteries do we really know anyway?"

"Yes, how much do we really know about the mysteries of the world? Even with our powerful backgrounds, the breathing techniques we've learned are just fragments."

Ye Xuan stopped laughing and said with emotion, "In this life, we must both strive and respect. Old Gu, never mind, let's eat."

Gu Shang nodded: "Let's eat."

He ate slowly with his head down, but his mind was filled with doubts.

Dragon-shaped koi, dragon-shaped koi, why are you here?

What secrets lie beneath this reservoir?

What a perplexing mystery...
